ARF Batman GMT 116710 BLNR photo review

[Tobel]

beautiful watch, can you insert a joubile bracelet?

The batgirl with jubilee also has a different dial (and crownguards I believe), it's not just a different bracelet

Also the movement is different obviously

KJ2020 have you seen this ARF BATMAN? Any idea on the bezel or the quality of this movement? I’m thinking if this is a worthwhile upgrade from my GMF...

He did leave a comment on the 4th page but no I don't think he's aware.......

The insert looks very good, the best rep or aftermarket Batman insert we've seen so far. The ARF LN insert had some samples with marker fill paint issues, this is typical of rep inserts. Time will tell how well the Batman insert holds up.

The SH3186 is a second best GMT true clone movement that can run without issue for some and can have a variety of issues for others. There are examples of these issues in other threads, one of the main ones is linked below.

Rep movements all benefit from servicing and some gen parts, this one more so than some others. The VR3185 has a much better track record of running well with neither of those benefits, and is often chosen to replace the SH3186 either preemptively or after issues arise.

If they managed to make a bi colored insert with basically NO speedbumps it shows that it's possible with their technology and machines, so there is no excuse for the chinese guys if they still make trash inserts from now on

do you mean that Batman dial and Pepsi dial are different?

No. 116710BLNR and 126710BLNR have different dials, case shape and movement as well as the bracelet.

I misunderstood, but do we know if anyone has managed to replace Pepsi bezel with gmt no 116710blnr?

What do you want? You want a batman? A batgirl? A pepsi? You seem to be very confused about changing this and that and various models.

hahah, and I want a 126710 with arf BLNR ferrule and a 126710 Pepsi (I have no idea which ferrule is better) plus I am going to pull the trigger on 116710 BLNR arf

I think my ideas are clear, what is not clear and what is the best case and bezel (pepsi) for 126710 :search:

 

[Tobel]

You can't buy an ARF bezel alone you'll have to buy the full watch. So my 2 cents buy an ARF blnr and a jubilee bracelet. It won't be a 126710 but it will give you the look you want

I am not KJ2020 but I have a GMF with the 2836 ICHS movement which I have worn often with pleasure for the past 14 months or so. I think it is a worthwhile upgrade. Insert colours seem more alive, correct rehaut alignment, correct crystal height, correct serif on the 1s, and as mine has the ICHS movement a correct hand set and movement. All the known faults on the GMF are not there. It looks really great on the various pics in this threat. Add to that the praise the ARF watches get on this forum for their cases and their bracelets and I think it is a no brainer.

I will have to come through the Santa onslaught on my wallet but then I will get the ARF Batman probably somewhere in the new year. My GMF is a Batgirl and I really think the oyster fits the watch better, it looks organic with it.

Or I may decide to see if I can raise the funds by putting up a couple of reps for sale that I don't wear ..... perhaps even my GMF BLNR ....

I don’t have a Jubilee, but the Batgirl should be next..

Sorry for the question.. but that you call "batgirl" is the 126710BLNR, right? However.. great watch and great pics! I'm in love with it!

Because the jubilee bracelet gives the impression that it’s more feminine on the wrist. I’m not saying that it is more feminine but the earlier GMT Masters came on the jubilee and they were labelled men’s watch. Soo there’s that.

Just ordered one of these myself

thanks for the clarification, even i couldn't understand why she calls it batgirl

I'm super lucky and got a gen batgirl this year, but this rep is absolutly stunning! Thanks for all the awesome pictures and the review. I think i will get this beauty as a backup in my watchcase.

Please ARF change the DW it destroys the beauty of that watch. Cannot understand that VSF or ZZF can do it and they corporate with each other (zzf-ARF) and that costs nothing, less black colour anyway nice piece
